This is not just a settlement. It's a WIN for Kim and her lawyer, disso-queen Laura Wasser.

TMZ reports that the judge sent 2 different messages - on the one hand saying the status of the marriage was dissolved, but then said it's over when they sign the official papers. But it seems like she's officially divorced, especially since the judge said to Kim, "Congratulations on your dissolution."

One final thing. According to TMZ, the judge was about to slap Kris with a financial penalty for being a no-show at last week's hearing, but Kim asked the court to drop it, and Kris skated.
